I’ve been with my partner for 10 years(engaged) and have two children. We haven’t bothered to plan a wedding because everytime I bring it up he acts very disinterested (is this a man thing?). He comes home from work and goes straight to the bathroom for an hour without even saying hello. If I don’t initiate a conversation he will just be on his phone and completely ignore me and sometimes I’ll be talking and he’ll walk about half way through me talking. I had a really important interview the other day which I didn’t get and I was so upset but he hasn’t even asked how it went so he has no idea that I sat for hours crying about it. I don’t understand why he’s with me if he’s so disinterested in me? With everyone else he is the life of the party but I never get that side of him. I feel so sad. As I sit writing this with tears in my eyes he is sitting opposite me and hasn’t even noticed.

Hi Lacey,

Hope you are feeling little better🖤I think your partner is not ready to settle down in marriage, he,s putting himself first before you , making a point that you are lucky to have him. I feel you are keeping your thoughts feelings to yourself and it’s eating away inside you?

🤔. It appears it’s not a equal partnership? does he decide what you both do, where you go, who you meet up with etc?

let me tell you , you have the strength within you to be bold, confident , it’s him who,s convincing you don’t. Be strong , stand up and say what’s on your mind.
